"DRM is the acronym of Digital Radio Mondiale, a new technology intended to offer digital, almost FM, quality to Shortwave, Long Wave and Medium Wave (AM) broadcasts. Unfortunately DRM is incompatible with ordinary Shortwave radios and requires buying new receivers, that are not currently available in mass production, or at a cost that is anywhere close to a conventional, analogue Shortwave receiver... Some large companies are pushing DRM by convincing program producers and broadcasters to start airing in DRM ahead of time, but unless there is mass availability and penetration of receivers on the listeners side, this will remain - unfortunately - a technological experiment, and broadcasters using it to reach their listeners now, are clearly throwing their money out of the window." http://www.egradio.org/index.php?name=FAQ&id_cat=7 No one will buy DAB/DRM radios, when analog sets are as cheap as $10 |

It will be expensive and a few radio junkies might buy it. But some European and Oceania shortwave broadcasters are putting a lot of effort into DRM. I have no idea why they would do this. There would be no market for this in the 3rd world. Maybe Japan/ Australia/New Zealand is their target area for buying this radio. Used to be that SW broadcasts were the way to get a country's message out to the rest of the world. It seems that isn't the point anymore, they don't care if they serve anyone but their own country or expats. Nobody cares about the third world anymo they don't have money for expensive digital radios, and they don't have internet.. |

The 3rd world is, in some respects, more technologically advanced than the USA. For example, they leaped over copper and went straight to wireless for their telephones. |
